The Arthritis Society is gearing up to host the Walk for Arthritis across Canada on June 2nd and 3rd, in an effort to raise funds and support for the one in five Canadians that suffer from the condition.
Canadians can register to walk in one of the city's nearest to them, or can take part in the Virtual Walk, which allows them to create and join teams online to help generate donations for a cause they believe in. In addition to giving those who live in more remote areas the chance to participate, the Virtual Walk is a great option for those with limited mobility who are looking for the same sense of community and support that the city walks bring.
Those wishing to show their support can make donations to the participant or team of their choosing online, or can donate directly to the event if they don't know anyone participating.
